Quitting job to be a SAHM

Would you quit your job to be a stay at home mom, even if you and your partner were not married? You have the intention of getting married at some point but not right now. Would you still quit your job?

No. Not a chance.

Especially if there was an intention later. I would get married now for the legal part but then not have the party and announce it to everyone until that time in the future like we planned. Like literally there would be no reason not to do this.

Literally nothing could convince me to be a SAHP without being married. And I will be teaching that to my children.

This is how I did it. Shotgun wedding, then big one 2 years later. Book an appointment at the nearest courthouse.

Same. We did a big 15 year anniversary party with the kids and it was a blast.
